High Moisture Absorption Capacity

"According to experts, sleeping between silk is a true sensation."

This is because silk has a high moisture-absorbing capacity (30% of its own weight) and the ability to release this moisture very quickly. It also excellently captures temperature differences from the body. Add to this the suppleness and light weight of the duvet, and the sensation of sleeping between silk is a reality.

Silk Duvet is Hypoallergenic

The most common allergy at the moment is dust mite allergy. Dust mites thrive in a moist environment and a temperature of around 20ºC. In every duvet, there is a zone where it is about 20ºC. But because a silk duvet absorbs and expels moisture very well, there is no moist climate in the duvet, making the dust mite uncomfortable in a silk duvet. Furthermore, the "anti-static" property ensures that no dust develops in the duvet, which is very pleasant for patients with respiratory conditions. Add to that the fact that silk is naturally hypoallergenic, and you have the ideal duvet for people with a high sensitivity to allergies.

Sensitive and Dry Skin

Silk is a natural product and contains amino acids. These help to maintain the moisture level in the skin. Silk also contains a protein called 'sericin', which has been proven experimentally to provide a smooth and supple skin. Research by dermatologists G. Senti and L.S. Steinmann shows that silk has as good an effect on atopic eczema as treatment with traditional ointments. (see www.curehunter.com) Furthermore, silk is very smooth, so the skin encounters less resistance during sleep. This has the advantage that fewer skin wrinkles develop during sleep, which may slow down the aging process of the skin. And who doesn't want to age gracefully?

Reduce Perspiration

Not only is the warmth provided by a duvet important for a good night's sleep, but the moisture-wicking ability is also crucial. Because waking up completely damp with sweat at night is unpleasant for anyone. A silk duvet ensures very good perspiration moisture drainage during your sleep, because the silk fiber can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture. Of course, there are other materials that can absorb moisture excellently, but only silk ensures that the moisture is quickly released to the outside air. This means that people who perspire a lot at night will have less trouble with it, resulting in waking up feeling more refreshed.

Relief for Joint Problems

Patients suffering from diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis often benefit from a dry and warm environment. Due to its moisture-wicking and heat-regulating properties, silk almost always provides an optimal sleeping climate. Additionally, a silk duvet is very lightweight, so unnecessary strain on the joints during sleep is avoided. Of course, a silk duvet does not make the condition disappear, but with a silk duvet, you create the most optimal sleeping climate.
